December Daily: Days 3-6

Hello again everyone. I hope you are enjoying your December. I sure am and I am so glad I am documenting it! Here are a few mores pages in my December Daily album.

Day 3: Today, the girls helped Jason put up a few Christmas lights outside, while I hung some garland and a wreath. Having moved into a brand-new house this summer, we don't have much for trees and landscaping, but we do have one little weeping cherry tree that Jason and the girls covered with lights.

Day 4: I spent a little time tonight playing around with my camera. I've never been able to get a good shot of our Christmas tree all lit up, so I did a little research online (I found this great tutorial) on the best ways to get good tree photos. They still aren't the greatest shots, but with a little practice, I'll get there.

Day 5: Starbucks and Christmas shopping. How do I take my coffee? A peppermint mocha with skim and no whip! I got a good chunk of the Christmas shopping done today. We're trying to scale back again this year and not buy so much stuff. I hope that by doing this it will help us focus on the real meaning and joy of Christmas—the celebration of the birth of our Savior—Jesus Christ!

Day 6: I'm ready for some Christmas partying now! I got a new do today. I feel like a new woman. It's amazing what a new hair cut can do to a girl!

Thanks for stopping by again today! See you soon!

December Daily: Days 1 & 2

I'm off to a good start on my December Daily Album. I've completed the first couple days. My goal is to stay on top of each days pages, while the memories are fresh in my mind.

Here is my cover again.

The album itself is a Fancy Pants Brag Book and I used lots of Fancy Pants goodies to embellish it. The cover uses one of the Artist Edition Metal Frames and a Saint Nick Filter Embellishment for the background to the year. I took apart my album for the ease of working with it. Plus, I imagine I will add a few things here and there and then I will put the spiral back on or I may do this (I like how Kim took the spiral off hers and added the rings).

 Here are my pages for Days 1 and 2.

 Each day has a "page opener" that is a decorative page announcing the day. Then, each day has a page with photos and journaling that follows.

I'm having so much fun creating this little album. I hope to show you more in the days to come. So come back soon!
